We should eliminate functions which uses locale settings because they can badly change the behavior of existing code. If you link your code with some external library which enables locale then it effects all isalpha()/isupper()/tolower() and similar functions. If someone has index on UPPER(<Sth>) then you have problem. Our UPPER() function may give different results when locale are enabled (it depends on used language and encoding). If you have two applications (f.e. one written as daemon without user interface or with Harbour CUI and second using GTK (GTK enables locale during initialization) and both operates on the same index with UPPER then this index will be corrupted. This have to be fixed.
